Section 72 The Great Battle (3)
Facing the black and swarming group of Maqihan soldiers, the archers on the city wall, who had been waiting for battle, inhale at the same time, archers, draw arrows, draw bows, and fire, and almost no aiming. The flying arrows formed wave after wave of arrow rain, and attacked the enemy soldiers who rushed towards the shield.
The dense rain of arrows brings huge damage to the soldiers on the attacking party, far exceeding the seemingly amazing catapults and crossbows. With the help of the height advantage, the attack group formed by archers can easily hit any target group that enters the range, while the enemy light armored infantry is the best target to attack.
Whether it is a round shield or a kite-shaped shield, the ability to resist this pervasive arrow rain is quite limited, especially during the movement, the soldiers exposed more gaps, and the sharp-eyed lookout and the responsive commander can always find at the first time where the enemy is more threatening and where the enemy's defense has greater loopholes. The bow and arrow group is constantly adjusting the attack points under the trinity command of the lookout and commander, giving the enemy soldiers the heaviest blow.
However, this advantage can only last for a short time. When the enemy's mobile catapult cart and bed crossbow cart finally advanced to their own attack range with the dense stone bomb attack, the same attack also fell on the Lin family army. The prepared Maqikhans are now more prepared in this regard. The whistling flint first patronizes the catapult position on the top of the city. Although the Sanjiang army also arranged various defense facilities on the catapult position, due to the limitations of the location of the city wall,
As for the difference in the number of stone catapults, under the guidance of sitting high in the air looking whistle, the fire bomb attack of the Maqi Khans accurately landed on the Sanjiang and one stone catapult. After only two rounds of strikes, the guards and stone catapults of one stone catapult were almost completely injured and killed. The huge number of differences made the end of the stone catapults battle without much suspense. One surgical precision strike after another made the stone catapults arranged on the city lose their combat effectiveness within almost two hours.
Although the second batch of stone catapults were quickly re-arranged, the newly added stone catapults were obviously slightly inferior to the first batch in terms of power and operation proficiency of soldiers, and the strike force on the enemy's long-range weapons was much lower. At this time, the key target of the enemy's long-range strike weapon cluster had been transferred to the crossbow car position. A crossbow car position was quickly submerged in the sea of fire, and the wooden crossbow car became the best target for fire bombs. Only one fire bomb carrying a large amount of oil droplets would be touched, which would immediately cause a fire, and the dense crossbow car position was quickly spread and was swallowed by the fire demon in a flash.
In addition to the competition for long-range strike weapons, face-to-face frontal fights quickly entered a substantial offensive and defensive stage. First, high-altitude nesting vehicles and mobile arrow towers concentrated their efforts to attack the defensive infantry on the city wall. Although this weapon with a higher advantage than the city wall is also the key target of the opponent's catapults and crossbows, once they enter their effective range, they can fully utilize the advantages of the main attacking side.
Accompanied by the heavy rain of stone bullets and crossbow arrows, the dense rain of arrows began to sweep each city head one after another. Even with the patios and shields as cover, in the face of the enemy's huge superior forces and concentrated attacks, the Sanjiang army on the city head was still suppressed and could not raise its head. From time to time, screams came, which were the howlings of soldiers who could not avoid were hit by arrows shot from the gap before they died.
With the help of his own advantage, the Maqihan soldiers who pushed the movable ladder and the siege car finally struggled to build the last passage to the gate of the city wall. The anchor hook at the top of the movable ladder easily hangs the battlement of the city wall, and the siege car pushed directly under the city wall, connecting parallel to the city wall, and even a high-level city wall. The spare ladder also set up the city wall at the first time, so that soldiers can directly attack the defending side of the city wall from multiple angles.
Just like a rushing flood over the embankment, the Maqihan soldiers in the yellow military uniform climbed up the city wall of Loushanguan in an instant, and the bloody hand-to-hand combat officially began. The Maqihan soldiers who climbed up the ladder or rushed down the siege car immediately fought fiercely with the Sanjiang soldiers defending on the front line. Every battlement, every city tower, and every passage became a battlefield for desperate battles, with swords and swords, swords and halberds falling, and every corner was filled with bloody fighting. Although the Maqihans were brave enough to take the lead and sacrifice their lives, the Sanjiang soldiers were also not willing to be outdone for their weakness.
The remaining limbs fell to the ground, the head flew horizontally, the flesh flew horizontally, and the brain was covered with the ground. There was no unnecessary words or any multi-lingual movements. The eyes were wide open, mechanical movements, chopping, chopping, and stabbing. Simple and simple movements can be fully verified here. If you have a little more fancy movement, the result is to seek death.
Bu Tiancheng stood motionlessly on the hill watching the development of the battle situation. Although he was expected to see the tenacity and tenacity of the Sanjiang army, he was still shocked by the fact that he really witnessed this cruel scene with his own eyes.
One of his own long-range weapons have already gained an absolute advantage. The early strike has quickly weakened the threat of the opponent's catapults and crossbows. Rounds of repeated sweeps have completely covered the place where the city can accommodate. The mobile arrow tower and the high-altitude nesting vehicle are even more condescending to strike at a certain point. But in this case, when his army rushed to the city, countless Sanjiang soldiers who had no idea where they came out roared.
He came forward with a sword and a gun, and gave his soldiers a head-on attack without hesitation. He even stood at a high place and saw several bloody Sanjiang soldiers in the pile of corpses rushing up without warning when his troops stepped onto the city. He raised his swords and guns together to kill his unprepared soldiers. Although the soldiers who had the advantage quickly solved these remnants, the Sanjiang soldiers who were attacking from both ends soon surrounded and annihilated their troops.
Such a cruel battle happened almost every inch of the wall. No matter how brave and fierce the soldiers on their side were, they always stopped in front of the solid defense line of the Sanjiang people. The battle between spears and shields continued until noon, and there was no sign of loosening or easing.
Pu Tiancheng nodded secretly, worthy of being the elite of the Sanjiang army. With this momentum of fighting against a strong enemy alone, it is enough to stand among the armies of all parties in the Eastern Continent. Although the performance of the Yulin Corps is also very eye-catching, the opponent is in the defensive position after all. This advantage cannot be reversed in one or two seconds. It takes time to pass and the soldiers' blood and corpses to transform.
"Master, the second and third Yulin Corps suffered a lot of losses. The two corpses have killed more than 3,000 people, and the number of serious injuries is quite large. Do you think that other corps can be rotated temporarily and let them rest?" The chief of staff next to him suggested with some trepidation. The Yulin Corps is the guardian god of the capital of the kingdom and usually does not use it. But this time I don't know what Your Majesty and the Minister of State think, and actually sent all three Yulin Corps to the front line. The Minister of State even appointed the Yulin Corps to take the lead on all fronts. This is really an unprecedented rare thing. Could it be that the Yulin Corps offended Lord Lei? But why did Your Majesty also support Lord Lei?
With a smirk at the corner of his mouth, Bu Tiancheng said lightly: "Does the two commanders of the corps ask for a replacement?"
"Uh, this is not the case. It's just that I saw that the Yulin Corps suffered heavy casualties, so I made my own decision-making-" Hearing that the coach's tone seemed a little wrong, the Chief of Staff quickly changed his mind. He didn't know why even the coach seemed to dislike the Yulin Corps.
"That's enough. Let them continue. Without my order, you are not allowed to stop the attack!" Pu Tiancheng glanced at his chief of staff, and the chilling feeling soaked into the other party's heart, and said coldly: "I can't even shed this little blood. Are there any Yulin Army qualified to be called Your Majesty?"
"Yes." The Chief of Staff secretly hated himself for being too talkative and subconsciously responded attentively.
The fierce battle lasted until the afternoon, and no one still remembered the word "hunger". This feeling seemed to have disappeared from people's consciousness. Another wave of people rushed up to the city, and the two colors mixed together again. The reserve team that had already prepared rushed out of the Tibetan soldiers at both ends, and soon suppressed the Maqihan soldiers who launched the attack again. The Maqihan disappeared little by little by little into the dark brown crowd of the Sanjiang people.
"Order the catapults and the crossbow chariot to concentrate their strength to sweep the city!" After keenly discovering this scene, Pu Tiancheng did not hesitate at all.
"Masterman! There are also our soldiers on the top of the city!" The Chief of Staff actually understood the meaning of the commander's words at the first time, but he subconsciously wanted to dissuade him.
"It's useless. They can't come back anymore. Since they can't come back, let the people of Tanghe be buried with them!" Putiancheng's tone was a little regretful, but there was no room for change.
Hundreds of flint bombs rose into the air again, roaring towards the soldiers of both sides who were still fighting fiercely at the far city. The winch of the crossbow cart also tensed at the same time and suddenly exploded. The two-meter-long iron-headed crossbow arrow passed by the sky with a shrill scream and flew straight towards the dense crowd.
